  2. Browse Projects permission is not granted to the atlassian-addons-project-access project role.

  3. User does not have Browse Projects permission for the project

Solution

  2. For any apps to access the project, the atlassian-addons-project-access project role should have Browse projects permission. Refer to our public documentation Manage project permissions for the steps to add users, groups, or roles to a permission scheme and grant the project permissions.
